"Susan" by Parker (sexual humiliation) 10, 9, 8
"Susan" by Parker (Reposted by Hawaiian Heat). This review is the personal opinion of Kim, who can be contacted at ghost@nym.alias.net. This is another Parker story, purported to be a sequel to the "Christina" story that I've just reviewed previously. I say purported because, really the links are tenuous to say the least. This story revolves around the misadventures of Susan, Christina's boss, briefly mentioned at the beginning of that story. Christina also makes an appearance towards the end of this story; but really, this story stands alone quite well, and can be read without reference to the first one. Susan, it seems, has a consuming desire to be spanked and humiliated by other women. To this end she enlists the help of a street walker, Sandy, to administer a beating. Things don't end there of course, as blackmail ensues and things go from bad to worse for poor Susan, including being dominated by her office junior, Judith, who finds out about Susan's dalliances. This story has a sharper, nastier edge than "Christina" does, and as such you may find it hotter, I don't know, but I didn't. It was just too sadistic for my tastes, but each to their own, I guess. It does have a pleasing shift of viewpoint, as Susan relates her downfall to Judith and the story changes to first person. Well, what can I say? You either like this kind of stuff, or you find it silly or unpleasant. I can sympathize with both views, depending on my mood. I can't find much wrong with the author's ability to tell a good story in a very lean and straight-forward style. I shall mark it down in my personal preference score, as the relentless sadism dished out to Susan was just too much for me. Despite the fact that she got off on most of it a lot of the time, there were a few instances where she clearly didn't. That robbed a lot of the arousal I might have otherwise had. As the action is quite a bit harsher than "Christina", you might also question the stories ability to suspend the disbelief necessary for enjoyment. Ratings for "Susan" Athena (technical quality): 10 (same simple declarative sentences) Venus (plot & character): 9 (within the genre only, otherwise silly) Kim (appeal to reviewer): 8 (You may think it deserves 10 |
